Our set-up crew will be leaving the Rochester area as a group from the CRACKER BARREL RESTAURANT on Hylan Drive in Henrietta, just south of Rt. 390.  If you would like to help, departure time will be NO LATER than 7:15am so we can arrive in time to set up the show.  If you wish to go on your own later in the morning, it's just a short drive down the thruway.

Hey All!  Here is the latest from ZCCR:
 
* The ZCCR ZcarnutZ hit the road once more heading to the 2012 Carlisle Import DayZ as we call it. They toured the local Harley manufacturing plant, hit several local pubs, spiffed/shined & showed their current rides, dined on the riverside, then hit the twistiest Central PA back-roads for some serious car exerciZe before calling it a loooong week-end! Next year we hear the West Coast is back on their radar. Many thanks to all who participated for keeping it real one more time!

This years crew included Ricky Ricardo, The Prof, KoZ, RedRocketMan, GotmoxZ, Nasty, the FuZZ, & the Poooolack...if you know them you'll know their more familiar names as well :) Oh and there were a couple newbie's too - Mr. Ford Small-Block & the Chuckster more than held their own keepin' up with the more senior NutZ. Check out a few photo's here:

Hello Z friends!

I'm happy to let you all know of a very special event that had been added to our "All Japanese Classic Car Weekend" July 17-19.  In addition to the Friday evening social, Saturday Car Show and Saturday evening dinner, we will kick off our Sunday morning road rally from SHARPSITE RACING!

Dr. Allan Robbins is a huge vintage racing enthusiast, specifically with Datsuns.  He owns Sharpsite Racing which participates in vintage racing events around the country.  He also is owner of several original Datsun race cars, true Datsun racing history.  Among them;

*Car #0006, the first Z car to leave the factory.  Most of you know the story, this is the car that was sent to North America in October of 1969 to make the rounds on the car show circuit and for press previews.  After a  model sat on the roof at the Toronto Auto Show and dented it, Datsun gave the car to Bob Sharp Racing and he campaigned it to SCCA championships for many years with himself and later Jim Fitzgerald who also raced additional Z's.  Dr. Robbins owns this historic car in his collection. 
More info here: http://www2.zhome.com:81/History/sharp.htm

*The Datsun 240Z IMSA GTU championship car driven to victory lane by Sam Posey.

*The Electamotive 280ZX driven by Don Devendorf.

*Several other vintage Zs 510s, 610s and roadsters in full race trim.

Our Sunday, July 19 Road Rally will start from Sharpsite Racing's Shop!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for any Datsun/Racing/History enthusiast to check out these historic cars all under one roof at the same time!

We will gather for breakfast Sunday morning, take a short drive to Sharpsite Racing and learn about the cars and their history.  Doc Robbins and his staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have.  We will then depart on a scenic road rally along the lakeshore to a lunch stop.

The entire weekend's events are sure to be the highlight of the driving season!  We hope you can join us!

JUNE Member Meeting: Tuesday June 17 (NOTE NEW DATE & LOCATION!!) 

We will be "on the road" to a new location: The Corner Sports Bar/Grapevine Restaurant, 122 Main St., East Rochester, NY. 

We will have a private room to enjoy great, reasonably priced food n’ drink and the World of Classic Car Insurance will be explained to us by Chip Strowe, Personal Lines Manager for Brown & Brown Insurance of New York (Rochester). He'll cover what can be insured, carrier expectations for the insured, how value is determined, how different insurers assign values (some leave it to the owner, some demand a formal appraisal, some refer to book values, etc.), claims information & more, he'll also answer questions that will surely come up. Brown & Brown works with Hagerty and other insurers so there'll be more than one solution to a car owner's needs. They are also a full service provider that can serve other insurance needs so questions about homeowners, general auto, etc. can also be addressed if presented.. 

Plenty of free parking right across the street in the Techniplex Mall.  Dinner at 6pm, meeting at 7pm.


This is Gonna be Great!
